Solution

The correct option is D Caustic soda
Acetic acid reacts with sodium hydroxide to give a salt and water, like all neutralisation reactions, as acetic acid is an acid and sodium hydroxide is a strong base.
$C H_{3} C O O H + N a O H \to C H_{3} C O O N a + H_{2} O$

Sodium hydroxide is also known as lye and caustic soda.
